Abstract

The International Conference on Applications and Design in Mechanical Engineering 2019 (ICADME 2019) was held on 26-27 August 2019 in Penang, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Malaysia. ICADME 2019 was organized by the Mechanical Engineering Programme, under the purview of School of Mechatronic Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Perlis.The ICADME 2019 aims to provide a platform for participants from diverse field of Mechanical Engineering backgrounds to exchange ideas and findings to promote cooperation, networking as well as knowledge sharing in both engineering practice and research in higher education. The conference includes the fields of Applied Mechanics, Themofluids and Energy as well as Design and Manufacturing. The conference received more than 100 papers from Malaysia and other countries over the world. After a rigorous peer-review process, 81 papers were accepted. The accepted papers that focused on theory, applications, design and experimental studies relevant to mechanical engineering fields were invited to present in this conference.We want to express our gratitude to all reviewers, both local and international, for their time and effort in reviewing the papers. Their feedbacks to the authors have been excellent and useful to ensure the high quality of papers for the conference. Our sincere thanks also go to all sponsors for their generosity. Last but not least, we would like to thank the organizing committee members for their hard work, cooperation and insights in ensuring the success of this conference.EditorsAssociate Prof. Ir.
